summer days, passing in a brilliant way
so high, i could fly away
i know it happens everywhere
i know we’re lighter than the air
summer eyes, glitter in the blackest nights
full of life, i never want to die
i know it happens everywhere
i know we’re lighter than the air

you lift me up, up, up
you give me love, love, love
i was all alone for oh so long
you came to me and you sang your song
and now i get along just fine
all things must end
even raindrops eventually land
and everything will start over again
i’ve been so stuck inside a place
i count the years in rings around my face
another year has come and gone
and here i am still singing songs
i don’t really think that that’s so wrong
so wrong, so wrong, so long as

everybody’s been talking, babe, talkin’ bout you
hate to say that i love to hear it, it’s all bad news
have you heard about me, though, baby? have you heard about this?
do you want to come over later, give me your poison kiss?
say it’s all right, babe, say it’s all right
say that it’ll all be over in the morning light
i need some sunshine, baby, i need some love
i need an intervention from up above
don’t you look at me now, baby, don’t you say my name
‘cause i don’t know how to say no, how not to play your game

i’ve been in the dark for too long
but i don’t want to move on
your eyes are colored like the dawn
keep telling me that nothing’s wrong
so we lay in bed and waste away the hours
my mind is only flowers
in the morning we will stand as tall as towers
the world will be ours
take my car, my phone, my bills
take my money and my pills
i want throw it all away
and tell you all i have to say
in your arms i’ll sleep away the hours
my mind is only flowers

Kite Night
03:42
|

|
we drove out to the lake in your buick lesabre
we picked up aaron on the way, hadn’t seen him in forever
we sat in the grass and waited for the stars
counting the billion little things that were ours
aaron brought the kite out at sunset; with great effort he got it in the air
the streamers rippled in the orange light, your hands ran through my hair
and i’d remember that tender touch in the months ahead
a tiny little moment that was ours
i think about montana when i close my eyes; i think about the fargo county fair
i think about the rhythms you tapped out on my thighs…you weren’t even aware
sometimes i drive out to the lake and i think about the kite
try not to think about the bad times, or what you did that night
but you gave me these scars, though i don’t remember how
all that potential seems so unimportant now, but it was ours

All The Time

well, i barely made it through the other night
but i’m here now, can’t you see i’m all right
i don’t need another friend, i don’t need another friend
i’ve got all the time in the world and i’m doing just fine
i’ve been torn up, tied up, thrown out, and hit
but this lovin’ heart inside of me just won’t quit
i don’t need another friend, i don’t need another friend
i’ve got all the time in the world and i’m doing just fine
i can see your smile on every other man
i feel your touch in every other hand
i don’t need another friend, i don’t need another friend
i’ve got all the time in the world and i’m doing just fine

Blue Velvet
03:24
|
|||
|
hard work may help the time go by
but the anger never leaves your eyes
on the late nights full of wine fights and headlights
an hour of deciding who has the worst life
and i am miles away from you but we’re here in the same room
on a night so velvet blue
took two hours to figure out my life today
and it came upon me in a brilliant way
i drove west while i figured out the rest
and i didn’t see the sun til the salt was on my tongue
and i am miles away from you but we’re under the same room
on a night so velvet blue
i’ll never forget about you
i loved you, i loved you so true
i even loved all the things that you do
and i sometimes think that you loved me, too
on a night so velvet blue
